SHOX

[Guest guest]

Hello, Has any one every heard of this blood test?

We went to see an endo and he said he would draw blood in October

because of the lab etc...I got a copy of a letter to na

pediatrician saying she has some " findings compatible with

Silver syndrome including leg, ear discrepancy, small fifth fingers

with clinodactyl, sclerae are bluish, highpitched voice,low appetite.

none of this is a diagnostic in my mind " I doubt this height slow

down other than short staure itself. Father's side family is short " (

My husband told him his ancestors were short but his dad 5'11 " ,

brothers 6'and 5'10 " )who knows maybe but why are his nieces and mine

all in the 75% hieght? My husband is short but the genetic doctor

told him if he came to him when he was young he would be 4inches

taller from not having sclosis and with out shots.

I'm confused now, she hasn't grown a 1/2inch since January, she has

gained 3lbs with her tonsils out, pediasure 3times a day with foods

she will eat and meds. He wants to see her back on october to do a

SHOX blood test. Her T4 was 11 in January now It is 14 but he feels

that " it is not hypo or hyperthyroid and may represent a thyroid

binding globulin variant " My husband hated him I didn't feel either

way. But now what do i do for na. She does eat very poorly.

She'll say at dinner I ate today already mom. We have two doctors

that say it is and now 2 that don't. I do have an appointment with

another endo in October that I was going to cancel but shouls I go

and get his opion? Sorry for babling any advise would be helpful

Thanks all Marcy
